	Telephone Science Experiment #1--Alexander Bell’s Famous Tuning Fork Experiment
		All he needed for the experiment was a tuning fork, a battery, a bowl filled with water and a little bit of acid (to make it electrically conductive), and a relay.
		With the tuning fork still vibrating, he carefully lowered it, keeping it almost parallel with the liquid, so that just one tip barely touched the water/acid solution.
		This changes the resistance between the fork and the vinegar, which in turn causes the current through the listening device to fluctuate at the same frequency of the fork.

	Tuning Your Guitar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Tuning forks that sound the popular tuning note "A" (which can be used to tune the fifth string) are very easy to find; tuning forks that sound an "E" (which can be used to tune the first and sixth strings) are also pretty easy to find and are more useful for guitars.
		Tune the A string by matching the harmonic at the fifth fret of the 6th string to the harmonic at the 7th fret of the 5th string.
		Tune the D string to the A string and the G string to the D string using the same procedure (matching the 7th fret harmonic of the higher string to the 5th fret harmonic of the lower string).

	Tuning fork - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tuning fork was invented in 1711 by John Shore, Sergeant Trumpeter to the court, who had parts specifically written for him by both George Friderich Handel and Henry Purcell.
		Once tuned, a tuning fork's frequency varies only with changes in the elastic modulus of the material; for precise work, a tuning fork should be kept in a thermostatically controlled enclosure.
		The piezoelectric properties of quartz crystals cause a quartz tuning fork to generate a pulsed electrical current as it resonates, which is used by the computer chip in the watch to keep track of the passage of time.

	Healing Tuning Forks
		Tuning forks are used in healing to bring one back into harmony by resetting dissonant frequencies to their proper pitch.
		Each tuning fork vibrates at a specific frequency and when placed against the body, allows the affected area to reset, or remember, its true pitch through sympathetic resonance.
		The first fork of the Angel Set is also known as the Crystal Tuning Fork - it clears and amplifies the energies of quartz and quartz-like crystals.

	Tuning fork testing: A primer
		Sound is produced by striking one prong of the tuning fork against the thick area of the handle of another tuning fork.
		It is imperative that the hand holding the fork that is being struck be far enough down the handle of the tuning fork so as not to dampen its vibration potential.

	Boston Electronics - Tuning Fork Chopper Tutorial
		The frequency of a tuning fork is inversely proportional to its amplitude of vibration.
		In tuning fork choppers, the duty cycle reflects the proportion of time that the vanes part and overlap, so for a 50% duty cycle the vanes are open for 50% of the time and closed for the other half.
		Tuning fork choppers are especially suitable for dedicated applications such as embedded or built into an instrument rather than for general laboratory use.

	Tuning Fork Chakra Balancing: Linda Trent
		A tuning fork session "tunes up" the person or animal on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels by allowing the frequency emitted by the particular energy center (chakra) to resonate at the correct frequency, restoring the body to a state of wholeness and health.
		The benefits of tuning fork session may be a deep sense of peace and well being, reduction of stress and muscular tension, increase in blood flow and circulation to the organs, enhanced immune response, and increased physical energy.

	Egon Pasztor - MAS863 - Tuning Fork
		We were given a handout with a sketch of the fork, including dimensions, and told, "Go machine this." The task required cutting off a length of aluminum stock, using the lathe to create a round and beveled handle, and then using the mill to mill out a central channel, leaving two prongs behind.
		For the record, the prongs of a tuning fork should be longer than they are wide.
		The fork make a sharp, very high tone of arbitrary pitch that was not really of musical quality, but the point of the project was just to introduce us to machining things, which it did well.

	Sound is a Mechanical Wave
		As the tines of the tuning fork, the structure of the sound board, and the inside of the sound board begin vibrating at the same frequency, a louder sound is produced.
		This concept was also demonstrated by the placement of the vibrating tuning fork against the glass panel of the overhead projector; the vibrating tuning fork set the glass panel into vibrational motion and resulted in an amplified sound
		This is convincing proof that the tines of the tuning fork are indeed vibrating to produce sound.

	Fork Stiction Tuning
		Disassemble the fork leg, remove the bushings, and slip the upper one onto a closely-sized piece of pipe (an old fork tube is best) and lightly dimple the outside of the bushing with a center punch.
		What happens when you remove that last little smidgeon of excess clearance, until the fork has absolutely no side play, is it feels good in one spot but binds in another.
		Next, tap the top of one of the fork tubes with a soft mallet to move the tube downward in its clamps a smidge (0.010"-0.020") and try the drop test again.

		Tuning forks produce two loud tones, a low pitch note, its fundamental, which is the one it is labeled as producing, and a higher pitch note known as the "clang" tone.
		The stem of the tuning fork is an antinode of vibration for the fundamental frequency, it is a node for the clang tone.
		The ends of the tines are the antinodes of the fundamental and the clang tone, but as you move down the gap a bit you come to a place which is the node of motion for the clang tone.
